Hyper-Capitalist? By definition, you are talking about Fascists and hedonists. Capitalism or more correctly, free enterprise is not an economic system. It simply describes what people have been doing everyday from the beginning of time. You're referring to people who use "the system", i.e. government to manipulate the free market to do what "you" believe is unfairly and immoraly enrich themselves. That may or may not be true. If you fancy yourself a Christian, then you may want to watch yourself in that thinking. Your assumption smacks of jealously which is a form of hatred. You are also judging others you do not know. How do you earn a living? Could someone make the same claim about you? Do you really consider yourself righteous compared to those you appear to have contempt for? We all have to watch it!

You have to be baptized into orthodoxy, there is no union between the catholic and the orthodox Church. The Orthodox Church is the true catholic Church. The pope is a satanist. You should convert to orthodoxy as soon as possible, till there is still time.

Father I have emailed the French Embassy here in Australia, the local media network that purchased the media rights and the big sponsors: Coke, Bridgestone, Toyota, Samsung and Allianz: Utter silence. Total boycott in our home on all forms of media promoting the games. Appalling, disgusting. I am sadly struggling to pray for all those involved, I pray that I will eventually get to that point.

Father, you are ignoring the historical context of St. John Chrysostom's homily (St. Elizabeth Convent in Belarus has a good article on this), plus his words were said during the first year of his priesthood, and he changed a lot over time; he never again called for violence despite living through many more rebellions of sorts. You are interpreting him in a very Protestant way, applying his words to worldly current events, things we shouldn't pay much attention to in the first place. It's a kind of *sola patrēs*

Many think it's just the Last Supper thing, but in reality it's a three-act, four-hour Antichristian show. The first act is the descent to hell of Paris, where the torch of the city is given to a demon-like person. That alone, with the mocking of martyrs in the catacombs, should make anyone shiver. The second act is this crescendo of prideful-lustful musical acts up to the demonic supper, where the demon-like figure gives the torch, the light of Paris to a faceless messenger. The third act is that strong passage of the faceless messenger riding over the Sena river, as if it were a river of the dead, and all the nations in the world joined behind the ranks of this Antichristian messenger, since they rode in the same river while all this blasphemy was taking place. It's the most brutal depiction I've seen of the Revelation of St. John, since the artists didn't try to hold back their satanic synergy. That being said, I think the transition between the second and the third act is the most shocking aspect of the opening, even more than the Last Supper mockery.

I had no idea this occurred as I do not watch TV. Such dismay to learn of it. How can anyone unsee this unfortunate situation unfold. May we pray without ceasing for the transformation of the people to actually see of their blasphemy. Let the light of Christ shine out the darkness. Blessings to fellow Orthodox Christians who stand for truth as the Saints did. The martyrs experienced such torture and gave up their lives. We as Orthodox faithful are tortured by the individualistic view pressed into our society in the guise of artistic direction and form. Orthodox Christians live within the Church - the hospital with Christ our physician. We take up our Cross and do not follow the world, we follow Christ. Why would the world who do not follow Christ believe they are representing art. Christ is not art, and he cannot and will not be reduced to man’s brokenness. May God have mercy on their souls.

Were there no christianity at all - why then to warship obesity? Or present sexual perversity as if it were a virtue? To let a beheaded queen sing without her head on her shoulders is ridiculing compassion to a degree not understandabel without understanding satanic messages - but we do. There they go!

While I wont dare to say (blank) here given KZbin's policies, I do dare to call out (blank) by name in the offline world. St John Chrysostom did.

@Jacks-tj9mbАй бұрын
@@loizospapaloizou9494 I agree, the battle begins when you accept Christ, but it is not through any work of this world that you are saved, it is through his Grace. If you kill a man, and you go to the judge and apologize 1000 times, you still must be punished for what you’ve done or I’d say that is not a good, just judge. You could do 1000 good deeds but you still would need to be punished. It would not change what you did. This is the emphasis on Grace I have. It does not mean you should not do good works. That is not what my faith tells me. No Protestant I have met would say that. But it’s only through Grace you are saved. Our Lord Jesus Christ paid that on the Cross for us. You clearly have your opinions about Protestantism, and not all of them are entirely accurate either, and I am not going to be able to change your mind over a KZbin comment. In person I could not change your mind that is not my job. You have your interpretation of things, and I have mine. That is just fine. We can leave it at that. I’m pleased when Christians can get along regardless of denomination. I base my faith on my personal relationship with Jesus Christ and his grace. Maybe I am wrong, and I pray everyday that if I am that Christ will direct me where I need to go. But that’s between him and I. Best of luck to you in your faith and in your journey.

The little girl with pigtails in that “banquet” scene, left of large woman in centre. Here’s my question-as everyone in the Christian & many faith communities are expressing understandable distress re Paris Olympics opening, WHERE ARE YOUR EYES with regard to Child Protection??!🧐 Yes, of course I see this as someone from my field, experience & training, but, how do others miss this? It was once our collective duty to observe ratings on Television & Movies about age suitability, everyone seems so upset about the insult to their faith tradition, that they forget to actually practise one its fundamental tenets. Body language, height & positioning, exposure & developmental appropriateness. Does this meet any of that criteria? Notify, take action to support Child Protection Services. Write to politicians, lobby for change & better funding. That part you can do something about.
